Mt Lilydale Mercy College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Lilydale Mercy College, commonly known as Mount Lilydale, is a co-educational Catholic day school located at Lilydale, Victoria, Australia.

[edit] History

In July 1891, the Convent at Mansfield was established - descended from Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary. From that foundation, a branch-house was opened at Lilydale in 1896. Lilydale, a struggling rural area, was chosen by Archbishop Carr as Mansfield’s first convent offshoot. When the Sisters arrived in January, 1896, neither convent nor school had been prepared for them, but the local Parish Priest vacated his presbytery and, for the first four months, school was carried on in the basement of that building. We have now progressed into buildings.
